Yesterday Joan and I ventured to Kinuseo Falls 40 miles SE of Tumbler Ridge up the (mighty) Murray River via a jet boat. Took just on an hour to get there through some really rugged but spectacularly beautiful mountainous country. Lots of bird life but unfortunately no wildlife.
It was a glorious summer's day and there were a number of boats (motorized and non-motorized) on the river but we were fortune to have the falls all to ourselves. Photos definitely do not do the place justice so I tried to capture the power, the noise and the scenery on video (see attached video) but even that failed.
We had a bar-b-que lunch and even this didn't entice the grizzly bears out so we headed for home. A really good day all round in a pristine national park that really was part of the last frontier. The first white explorer only discovering these falls just under 100 years ago. We are keen to get back to these falls in winter (via ski-doo) to see the spectacle of this powerful water fall frozen in time. Yes each year these falls and the river turn to ice. Can’t wait to share those photos, though not sure I will be able to entice Joan out in -45deg conditions on a ski-doo.
Take care, stay safe and happy………………Peter and Joan
